As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers measuring 6.00 to 7.00 higher overall, with feeder bulls 5.00 higher, and no comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts. Slaughter cows gauging 2.00 to 8.00 higher with slaughter bulls sharply higher, and increased demand was noted for slaughter classes. Today's replacement offerings included a fancy set of mostly black cows from one producer.

One grade step is worth $11.56/cwt here — about $52 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

23 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $419.64, low $327.37, median $370.92 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
